Gainesville Soccer Alliance
2011-2012 PLAYER/PARENT AGREEMENT
Following try-outs, selected players will be offered positions on a competitive team. This agreement must
be completed and returned to the club registrar to hold the player’s position on a GSA competitive team.
The $250 deposit must be paid for on-line or you can mail a check with your forms. This fee is nonrefundable.
In August 2011, all players competing on GSA teams will be carded to FYSA through GSA, provided their
club dues have been paid in full (or a payment arrangement has been set). A player remains registered
with GSA until the end of State Cup (mid-June) 2012. Any club transfer requires a release of this card
from the team and club. The player and parents or legal guardian must be in good standing including the
completion of their financial and volunteer responsibilities for a club transfer to be considered.
COMPETITIVE TEAMS require the highest level of player skill, and player and parent/legal guardian
commitment. Team training begins about August 1, 2011 for all age groups and continues 2-3 times per
week until the end of May (and perhaps into June 2012 for State Cup teams) for all players of middle
school and elementary school ages. GSA teams with high school age players train until the middle
of October (when the high school season starts). They may train intermittently during December (if
scheduled to play in a competitive Holiday tournament for the club). Training for the high school teams
will resume in February (after completion of high school season) and continue until the end of May (or
completion of State Cup). Younger teams without holiday tournaments will break from Mid Nov to
Mid January.
Competitive teams will have a head coach paid from club fees and may have additional training sessions
from the Director of Coaching (DOC) or guest trainers arranged by the DOC. Goalies may also have
specific goalie-related training sessions. Costs for player training, field mortgage, soccer equipment, field
lining, coaches’ training/licensing, player registration, club computer software/hardware, website
expense/maintenance, and club marketing, are included in the basic club fees.
The club fees do not include team fees, uniform fees, referees, tournaments and travel fees.
The club fees per player will not fully cover the cost of the Director of Coaching, Director of Administration
or Jonesville Park Development. These additional expenses will be funded by separate fundraising
activities (ie. hosting tournaments, concessions, sponsorships, etc).
If a player chooses to stop playing during the season of 2011-2012 for his/her GSA team prior to June
2012 for any reason other than an injury, the parent/player may or may not receive a partial refund for the
remainder of the soccer year unless extraordinary circumstances are approved by the GSA Board.
